Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. Recently, the child has been scratching her ears and complaining of itching. In the morning, there is occasionally a yellowish liquid discharge. At the same time, she seems to have no appetite and is very weak. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric otitis media can involve using symptomatic medications based on the child's symptoms. Local medication can be applied, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child has severe ear pain and yellow discharge, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child develops a tympanic membrane perforation, they should be taken to the hospital for surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
